In his will is our peace. The will of the Savior is that we should help him in his work, becoming suffering servants with him. To the degree that we accept and generously live out this vocation, we shall find peace. However, peace exists at different levels and in various ways within us, for we are wounded in our human nature in ways that Jesus never was . . . “Take me, Lord, battered and half-drowned as I am, and use me. I belong to you for your redemptive work through your Church, the sacrament of salvation for the whole world.” This is now our prayer.
